Exploring local vegetables cultivated in home gardens of Pa Tio District, Yasothon Province, Thailand: ethnobotanical knowledge, nutritional value, and horticultural potential.
Article in Journal of ethnobiology and ethnomedicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLocal vegetables are essential for food security, nutrition, and cultural practices in rural northeastern Thailand. Despite their importance, comprehensive documentation of their diversity, nutritional contributions, cultural significance, and economic value in Pa Tio District, Yasothon Province, is lacking. This study provides the first systematic account of edible plants in the district, highlighting their multifunctional roles in food, medicine, household nutrition, and local markets.
methodsEthnobotanical data were collected through semi-structured interviews with local informants, and species uses were categorized as food, spices, medicinal, or ornamental. Quantitative indices-including the Cultural Importance Index (CI), Informant Consensus Factor (F
resultsA total of 73 species from 33 families were recorded, with Cucurbitaceae, Zingiberaceae, and Apiaceae being particularly species-rich. Multifunctional species such as Allium cepa L., A. sativum L., and Ocimum spp. were central to diets, medicine, and local markets. Leafy greens and aromatic herbs were the most frequently used, contributing substantially to micronutrient intake. Marketable species provided supplementary income, enhancing household resilience and supporting local livelihoods.
conclusionThis study highlights the nutritional, socio-ecological and economic importance of edible plants in Pa Tio District. Conserving plant diversity and indigenous knowledge is essential for sustaining household nutrition and food security. Future work should investigate nutrient bioavailability, phytochemical composition, and improved cultivation practices to strengthen sustainable use and horticultural development of these culturally important edible plants.
